「你哋啲衫邊度嚟架」- Vol. 1

kaylawong】好多人都問我們從哪裡收集衣服。其實我們跟你我一樣,從城市裡的人那裡收集。今天,我們挑選了一個故事跟大家分享——

她的衣櫃 vol. 1 - KAYLA WONG 王曼喜

Kayla 是一名 LGBTQ 活躍份子,同時也經營著名為 Basics For Basics (@basicsforbasics) 的道德慢時尚品牌,並協助一個混合空間 The Wild Lot (@the.wildlot) 的創意方向。她一直支持環保運動,尤其是在她所從事的時尚行業中。她與我分享著相同的價值觀,是我尊敬的人。我很榮幸能夠在我們的第一個活動 - Shop her closet 中特別介紹她。


Many wondered where do we collect the clothes from. We collect them from people all around the city just like you and me. And here's one story that we picked to share with you all today —

Shop her closet vol. 1 - KAYLA WONG 王曼喜

Being an LGBTQ activist herself, Kayla runs an ethical slow fashion brand called Basics For Basics (basicsforbasicss) and helps out a hybrid space - The Wild Lot (@the.wildlot)) with creative directions. She has always been supportive in environmental protection movenments, especially in the fashion industry where her profession lies. She is someone that shares similar values to mine and someone that I look up to. It is my honour to have featured her at our very first activity -Shop her closet.

香港二手店文化:發掘隱藏的文化瑰寶

【二手店文化】今天在香港,二手店文化已經成為一種流行的購物方式。二手店提供了一個可以買到便宜的物品的機會,同時也可以提供一個可以發掘隱藏的文化寶藏的空間。在二手店中,可以發現令人驚嘆的珍品,如古董書籍、古董玩具、古董傢俱、古董鐘錶、古董首飾等等。

Second-hand shop culture has become a popular way of shopping in Hong Kong today. Second-hand shops provide an opportunity to purchase items at a cheaper price, while also providing a space to uncover hidden cultural gems. In second-hand shops, one can find amazing finds such as antique books, vintage toys, antique furniture, vintage watches, antique jewelry, and more.

Greenies are here to create IMPACT.

We believe if something is worth doing it is worth doing well. One day at a time, we are making progress - to destigmatize bias on “second-hand” and “preloved”. Preloved does not necessarily equal to dirty/stained/damaged/unstylish items. They could be clean/chemical-free/durable/stylish/brand-new. We're not perfect, but we're proud of how far we've come. Let's create an impact as a circular community, keep products in use and #StayGreenBeGreenies. 






It is time to RETHINK.

💡 Do you know that about 170 tonnes of unwanted clothes are entering the landfills every single day? It's time to rethink our buying habits to work towards a more sustainable future together. Join us in this circular movement and #StayGreenBeGreenies. 😉


💡 你知道每天大約有 170 噸棄置衣服進入垃圾區嗎? 係時候重新思考我哋嘅購買習慣,共同邁向更可持續的未來了。 加入我們的循環運動記住#StayGreenBeGreenies。 😉

Greenies Furniture

In-Store Furniture #FactofGreenies 💡

We are repurposing this drawer from an old cabinet which the previous tenant has decided to throw away to a shoe display. By rearrangement and a few touch up, old furniture can unleash their full potential from wastes. ♻

-

我們重複使用前店主提供的仍然可以使用的家具。通過重新佈置和一些修飾,舊家具可以從廢物變成充滿潛力的家具。就如我們所推廣的循環經濟一樣,二手衫亦都可以像全新的衣物般令人眼前一亮🚮







Greenies price tag

Our Price Tag #FactofGreenies 💡

We try our best to create as little waste as possible. So don't feel shocked when we collect the Greenies' Tag after each purchase as we are reusing them for the next preloved goodies.  This could reduce the unnecessary production of price tags and waste in the industry. 😉🌲

-

我哋GREENIES盡最大嘅努力減少生產以致嘅浪費。每次結帳時我哋都會收集返衣物上嘅Greenies' Tag,因為所有嘅Greenies' Tag都會被重用,務求減少不必要嘅製作同浪費,從而幫助保護環境。😉🌲 Cuz #GreeniesCare





We support fashion to be made sustainable.

We are not building a brand. We are building a community - for the like-minded and enlightening the opposite. #WeAreGreenies

We support fashion to be made sustainable.



We support extracting the maximum value from products to minimise impact and waste on our planet.



And we support free pick-ups for 10+ items for preowned consignment to bring in convenience and rewards for living green!

👉🏻Always look for preloved before turning to new ones

Always look for preloved before turning to new ones

Seriously, if we were given the resources and capacity to collect and revive all items, we would definitely go without limitations for our collections. Trust me, we are working so hard towards that. Yet, at this stage, we are only collecting:


Damage- and stain-free in trend ladieswear, menswear as well as kidswear in good quality and condition with resalable value.


Right, we are picky in a sense that we hope to get the quality assured. Traditionally, it’s shameful to shop preloved in Chinese society. We are here to bring forward a message that,



"Shopping preloved diverts items from landfills and reduces the need for new clothings. Buying one used item lowers its carbon and water footprint by 82%.


"IT IS A LAUDABLE ACT”



👉🏻Always look for preloved before turning to new ones.



How does it feel to have a peek at others’ closets?👀

How does it feel to have a peek at others’ closets? 👀


This gorgeous baby blue chrochet lace midi skater dress with pinkish underlay from @boohoo will suit your feminine vibes on many occasions.



What’s more? It’s preowned, a cut of the original price and #guiltfree.



Isn’t it good to have something to look forward to in life? Our huge Greenies Closet’s available the coming June.
